Valentino Misino

No description available.

In the heart of medieval Italy, nestled on the Umbrian hills, Assisi remains a pilgrimage destination, a symbol of faith and a sanctuary of Christian art. Here, beneath the sacred vaults of the Basilica of St Francis, the frescoes of the great Italian master Giotto di Bondone shine like windows opening onto the divine. This documentary invites viewers on a mystical journey through the artistic genius of Giotto and the life of Saint Francis, taking a fresh look at works that are hundreds of years old, while delving into recent discoveries that have shed new light on the history of art. The work of the brushes of the great Italian painter is an opportunity to pray and to savour the grace of God, so majestically evoked in the Umbrian basilica.

A never-seen-before short movie is resurrected from the archives of the Cinematheque of Bologna: "Ragazzo Motore" starring the auteur Pier Paolo Pasolini. The unedited film is the starting point of a journey across the universe of Pasolini. Non-conventional rebel and provocateur, persecuted by the censorship, praised by the critic and eventually the mainstream: from his very first film "Accattone" (1961) to the last scandalous "Salò" (1975), Pasolini fearlessly investigates burning social topics such as sexuality and the end of the grand ideologies. Inexhaustible lover of life, in all its forms, poet, philosopher, filmmaker. His revolution scandalous and candid, his sensibility ancient yet modern. A unique voice in the cultural scene of the 20th Century, and one of the most important figures of the Italian "New Wave."
